I'd support giving rollback privileges to all autoconfirmed users.
I disagree. I think that the important aspect of manual reverting is the ability to enter summary of the edit, i.e. to explain why someone is reverting. On the other hand, administrators are trusted persons, so they don't have to explain (and justify themselves) that much, so an automatic edit summary is more logical for them than for autoconfirmed users.
I'd disagree with the notion that administrators don't need to explain themselves as much as other editors. In my opinion, the automatic rollback should be reserved for situations where there is no possibility of misunderstanding, which generally means reverting either blatant vandalism or a very obvious mistake. If there's any chance that I might have misunderstood the intent of the edit, or that someone else could possibly misunderstand why I reverted it, I'll do the revert manually and provide an edit summary.
Of course, if there was a way to rollback with a custom edit summary...
